Equipment

  • stand mixer
  • jellyroll pan
  • Wire rack

Ingredients
  

For the pumpkin cake

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice blend
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1-¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar for dusting towel

For the cream cheese filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • ¼ cup salted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch sea salt
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan and Towel

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a 13×17” jellyroll pan with parchment or wax paper and lightly grease the paper with butter or nonstick spray.
  • Generously sprinkle ¼ cup of powdered sugar on a large tea towel and set it aside on a flat surface.

Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice blend, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, use a stand mixer to beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Beat in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Combine and Bake the Cake

  • Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Spread the cake batter evenly onto the prepared pan, leaving a ¼” border around the edge. Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until set.

Roll the Cake in the Sugared Towel

  • Remove the cake from the oven and immediately turn it out onto the powdered sugar-dusted towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake and towel together from the short side. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the Cream Cheese Filling

  • In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until combined.

Notes

Ensure the cake is cooled completely before spreading the filling.
